Both, China’s 6th-Gen stealth fighter siblings are designed for combat superiority but in distinctively different scenarios, experts reveal.

China’s twin prototype sixth-generation stealth fighters, each distinctly designed, were showcased in a public spectacle on December 26, capturing immediate social media attention.

Meanwhile, a larger, robust variant with a three-engine, tailless diamond-wing configuration took to the skies over Chengdu, home of the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group known for the J-20 fighter. This model, characterized by its stealth capabilities, long-range, and high payload, is envisioned as a fighter-bomber.

Military experts highlight that while stealth is crucial, the J-50’s ability to deploy its vertical tail enhances its agility during dogfights. On the other hand, the Chengdu-produced J-36 is designed for a different set of tactical advantages.
